Stories from Our Place exhibition opens tomorrow

ABC Open and the Western Plains Cultural Centre officially open our new exhibition in Dubbo

The image panels are hung, the video compilations are finished and the tablets with 500 Word audio stories are ready and waiting for your listening pleasure. My shoes are polished and I think I know what I’ll say in my brief speech.

We’re ready!

Celebrating two years of ABC Open stories made by the Western Plains community, the Stories from Our Place exhibition brings together 50 image panels, 32 videos and seven 500 words audio stories.

It has been open to the public for two weeks, but tomorrow is the official opening when we will really get to celebrate and acknowledge the hard work of the community that is showcased in the exhibition. It is a chance to hear from some of the contributors who have work featured, along with ABC Open Project Director Cath Dwyer and the curatorial team from WPCC.

We have also put together a selection of films from the exhibition to watch on the big screen in the WPCC auditorium.

Everyone is welcome to join us at 11am at the Western Plains Cultural Centre, 76 Wingewarra St Dubbo.

If you can’t make it tomorrow don’t despair, the exhibition is on until 2 February 2014 so there is plenty of time to check out the fantastic stories from the Western Plains region.
